Updated Board and Committee Meetings Policy

At its January meeting, the Academy Board of Directors updated its existing meetings policy to ensure that the objectivity and independence of the Academy continue in our public policy and professionalism work. The work of Academy volunteers and committees needs to be done in a deliberative environment that is robust, frank, and considers diverse sources of information and different perspectives, free from any specific interests of the employers of its members or of any other special interest group or organization. The revised policy will clarify and strengthen the Academy’s efforts to continue the quality of work on which our reputation is built with the integrity that is expected. The updated policy has been posted to the Academy Policies and Guidelines section of our website.
